Types of Water Damage

There are three types of water damage that commonly happen and the first step is to determine which one you’re dealing with. Clean water is just that, clean. It occurs from storms, broken supply pipes etc. Grey water is the wastewater from your shower, bath, sinks and washing machines. Black waters are sewage waters that contain pathogens, fungi and bacterial/viral contaminations. Black water is extremely hazardous to your health, so call us right away to determine what type you’re dealing with.

Water And Electricity Don’t Mix

Keep in mind that you could have electrical short-circuits from the water damage, so be sure to shut of your main power switch if it is safe to do so. Never wade through water or enter a water-logged room if the electricity is still on. The rule of thumb is if your electrical outlets are wet, don’t go in, you could be electrocuted. Call Quebec Hydro for assistance if you are unsure of the electrical situation.
